The nuclear power industry has been resurrected
over the past decade by a lobbying campaign that has left many people believing
it to be a clean, green, emission-free alternative to fossil fuels. These
beliefs pose an extraordinary threat to global public health and encourage amajor financial
drain on national economies and taxpayers. The commitment to nuclear power as
an environmentally safe energy source has also stifled the mass development of
alternative technologies that are far cheaper, safer and almost emission free —
the future for global energy.
When the Fukushima Daiichi reactors suffered
meltdowns in March, literally in the backyard of an unsuspecting public, the
stark reality that the risks of nuclear power far outweigh any benefits should
have become clear to the world. As the old quip states, “Nuclear power is one
hell of a way to boil water.”
Instead, the nuclear industry has used the
disaster to increase its already extensive lobbying efforts. A few nations
vowed to phase out nuclear energy after the disaster. But many others have
remained steadfast in their commitment. That has left millions of innocent
people unaware that they — all of us — may face a medical catastrophe beyond
all proportions in the wake of Fukushima and through the continued widespread
use of nuclear energy.

i think its the time to think about our future and
our health, many people in the world have no idea what could happen if these
powerful governments stayed in control for its own benefits and
rescued people`s lives all over the world. i think people should start to
realize what is going on around them and learn about it and try to change it..
